Hai

I was hoping that someone may have an idea.

The other day I had the shark out and when I got it home I saw steam coming from under the hood. I opened the hood and the smell of antifreeze was in the air and the steam was coming from the driver's side of the engine. I have yet to see any puddles under the car.

Your help and prayers are greatly appreciated. I have a feeling this is going to be really expensive.

I'd make sure it's full of antifreeze and that there is no oil/antifreeze mixing, then I'd warm
it up to operating temp and look/smell for where
it may be coming from.
It might be a pin-hole in a hose or if the heater
valve is leaking it could be running down that side of the block.

Don't panic - the odds are very good that you have a loose clamp or a small leak in one of the small hoses on the back of the engine.

Disconnect the air inlet hoses.
Remove the top of the air cleaner box.
Remove two 10 mm nuts and washers.
Lift off air cleaner box.

Use a flashlight and carefully inspect all of the coolant hoses on the back of the engine.

Repair the leak.

Check everything else back there, including oil leaks.

When you replace the air cleaner bottom, be sure to connect the air pump dump hose on the bottom right side.

Thanks guys,

I'll check those. Friends of mine were making me scared. They know about engines, but not 928s and even though I haven't seen any signs of the oil and antifreeze mixing I was being told it could be a blown head gasket or a cracked head.

Thanks for your help. I REALLY appreciate it.
